At five feet, five and a hundred and ten
The Marines said, “sorry, too small of a man.”
Yet he became greatest of World War men,
The Army’s David to Goliath stands.

An orphan at the early age of sixteen,
Enlisted at nineteen then off to war.
As part of the 15th infantry team,
Lived four hundred days of front-line gore.

Leon Byner Has Left the Building

Leon Byner has left the building 
After 23 years of people bargaining
He was the people’s voice to be heard
And on most things he was undeterred 

I remember him spinning discs in the 60s and 70s
As a radio disc jockey so cool you see
Before shifting to talkback radio at 5AA
Where he would take on the issues

Rainy Leon

This is in memory of legendary Leon Chaitow — — a piece of my 'Sasha & Leon Christmas walkabout'.
..............................

There are always people who feel rain

And others who only easily become wet, whether they feel or not.

But there are extremely few people whom you have to be all eye to see, who not only feel the

Kings of Leon

The road in front of us falls away,
The radio static becomes a wall we nod our heads to,
And the car splutters along like cheap fireworks
Again your eyes slide off the dash onto my hands
Which are busy being nervous.
In this silence it is impossible not to feel like an uninvited guest, 
All flesh, no voice. 
I

This Masqurade - a Leon Russell Tribute

Ivory pieces transcending space and time
where the words just got in the way
lost inside the smoke of just another day

A song for you deep from a sensitive mind
reaching for a reaction for actions done wrong
forgiveness sung for a special friend of mine

When the dew drops no longer shine for me
and a hard rain begins to

Second Time's the Charm

I’ll keep this short, 
that all may know
These words I write, 
I write to show

A singer* once said of 
the trade that he plied
A poem is a person, 
stands naked and spied

A compliment given 
reflects back upon 
The giver if not 
those words were steeped on

So when you tell me 
just so, to be nice
“The

LEON, MY KING, HIS KING
IRIS, HIS QUEEN, HIS *****
I LOVE LEON
LEON IS MY KING
I WOULD DIE FOR HIM
HE WOULD KILL ME FROM WITHIN
I WOULDN'T DARE LOVE ANOTHER

HE WOULD KILL ME SLOWLY
IF I LEFT FOR ANOTHER
I HAVE LEON THEREFORE

THANKS LEON FOR LOVING ME
NO THANKS FOR THIS LIFE

Inspiration Kings of Leon Somebody

Think I'm showing off
Full of bull
Never there to push when pulled
Dulled 
Looking to cull the itches
Looking to subtle the trenches
No that cant be
Not from what these eyes see
Not nobody
Correction.....
Not anyone can come between 
Nor hurricane typhoon
Rollercoaster monsoon
Even with destiny' great angst
Or fates recluse
Or judgement day' recruit
Uff spine abiphida too
The gallows n their noose
A 4 star

Ain'T Got the Slang But You Got the Face To Play the Role Ode To Kings of Leon

Backstage and waiting
For my favorite 
Band to just show up 
Anticipation
Has got me dizzy

Heavy songs like: "Milk"
and "McFearless"
Here's my respect 
For your music;

On God, Life 
Teenage sex,
and "Tranies"

Southern
Home-grown

Leon & Gayle - Fifty Years

Now we mark a big occasion
The “Golden Wedding Anniversary“
Of George and Sally, or to you 
“Leon and Gayle”
now here’s their tale ...

Gayle was a city of Moffett girl,
Leon a shy Allentown farm boy.
Opposites attracted,
And the result was just pure joy.

They raised cat, dogs, horses, cows, 
Vegetables, flowers, bugs and all kinds of toys.
they also managed

Wouldn'T (With Leon In Mind)

You're the only one who turns my cheeks a rosy pink.
The only one that makes my future so clear.
Living the moment.
Was what I was all about.
But with you.
"Living the moment" is just another phrase.
Never thought this could ever happen.
Afraid with excitement.
Never thought I'd fall in love so quickly.
Seems like I'm rushing.
But with you.
It's the perfect
